The Scoop

A voluptuous and luminous contrast between an overdose of dark vanilla beans and a white Palo Santo wood. The MATIERE PREMIERE Vanilla. The addictive character of Vanilla is reinforced by Coconut powder. White Musks envelop the Vanilla and powders for a contemporary, luminous perfume.

What We Think

Bored with ordinary vanillas? Vanilla Powder is a dynamic and modern interpretation of the genre that might make you a believer again. Dark and sultry vanilla beans are given stylish contrast with a powdery coconut to add a cool, airy, almost crystalline facet, all set against a base of subtly smoky palo santo that ties it all together with a chic Parisian flair. Easy to love but with a sophistication that reveals itself to those who lean in close, this is a must for vanilla lovers looking for something new and fabulous.

Fabulous long-lasting perfume that projects a lot. The vanilla is not sweet, it is a dry high quality vanilla well blended with palo santo. There is a slight coconut scent in there, but I don’t detect it too much. It is perfect to wear for the dry cool air of the winter, or even on a tropical vacation. It can be a little screechy, but that’s from the dryness and palo santo. It’s excellent. Unique and gets compliments.

Eau de Isopropanol. It's a sharp, unwelcome, strident note on top of the soft coconut, vanilla, and powder notes. It pretty much ruins this scent for me, but I'm finding that it fades while the actual fragrance stays after a longer wear time. Very coconut, vanilla, musk heavy. I like the note described as "coconut powder" because it does indeed smell like powdered coconut (rather than powder + coconut). I wouldn't call it "powdery" in a traditional sense because of this. Like others, I don't really get the base notes. It's fluffy, cozy, warm, definitely a crowd pleaser. Not the type of fragrance I normally gravitate to, but I think many will like this. 7/10.

I left an excellent review for this fragrance and it is honestly a really beautiful fragrance. However, my second time wearing it, when I realized how beautiful it is, for some reason I got a terrible headache. I really am disappointed because I love Vanilla Powder, but something in it gives me an awful headache and I just can't wear it. I highly recommend testing this as it is extremely strong. Give it a chance before you go for a full bottle. It is really lovely though!

Vanilla Powder is a stunning scent! When I first smelled it, I honestly didn't like it the first time, then I revisited it and I absolutely love it. I'm so glad I decided to try it again. There's a slight hint of coconut, some vanilla some dry notes, but they're blended very beautifully together. Absolutely beautiful vanilla, gourmand, powdery fragrance. I suggest if you don't like it the first time, revisiting it, it worked for me!

By Megan - Self employed from Pittsburgh on 1/30/2025

Wow, this is strange. I knew it wouldn't be a blind buy, so I got a sampler. Even then, it is not even close to what I could have expected! Really weird... I agree with the other reviews - sharp, metallic, chemically. Saw on TikTok that is smells very coconut-y, but I don't smell that at all. Stay away.

By Colleen - Operations from Chicago on 10/18/2024

Love! It’s long lasting and the coconut is subtle, but just enough.

By MG - Buyer from New YORK on 10/18/2024

A very scratchy scent in here that I'm not sure what to attribute to. It's not a pleasant powder drydown, and it LASTS. If you want to be more warmer, softer, vanilla gourmand, this is not the one. :(

By Megan - SAHM from Grayson, KY on 10/1/2024

I like this. I'd be better named Vanilla Smoke, the powder is slightly misleading. To me, this is a stronger, smokier, cold weather version of Burberry Goddess or Byredo's Vanille Antique. Def a powerhouse, not for the faint of heart, so I can see how it could be overwhelming to some. Little goes a long way! If you like sweet marshmallowy vanillas, this is NOT for you. It’s a dark, full-bodied, slightly smoky vanilla thanks to the palo santo. Cost wise, I’d probably stick to Burberry Goddess.

By Emma - Proposal Writer from Alexandria on 8/28/2024

Vanilla Powder is AWFUL! Thank goodness for Luckyscent, so I didn’t blind buy a full bottle! It stinks. Maybe it doesn’t go with my body chemistry. Another awful one that’s along the same lines as Vanilla Powder is Vanille Antique by Byredo. It’s even worse than this one. I normally love vanilla scents and thought I would these two scents, but no.

By Joy - Dog mom from Etowah on 8/13/2024

This is interesting, and I see the metallic note the other reviewers are talking about, but it isn't amazing enough to buy full bottle. I don't like how baby powdery the powder smells. It smells like someone's grandma's took a powder puff and then shook it all over the bathroom and it went up in a cloud of smoke. It's got a very old granny smell mixed with modern elements, but not in a good way.

By Lindsay Glazer - lawyercomedian from Las Vegas on 7/20/2024

I completely agree with Amanda's review. I love vanilla perfumes and have so many favorites of all variations, but this Vanilla Powder is horrendous. I can't describe the overwhelmingly sharp, almost metallic scent that assaulted me when I put just two sprays on my hand. It burned my nose, almost a camphor-like smell that makes your eyes water. And as mentioned in Amanda's review, the smell literally grew stronger over time. How? I didn't even spray it in my office, but the entire room soon filled with the smell just from what was on my hand and people covered their nose when they walked in. Definitely get a sample before considering a full-bottle.

By Pamela - Sales from Houston, TX on 5/10/2024

I really like this fragrance and all the others, but it would be better to have a 50 ml format.

By Santiago - Chef from Fort Worth on 1/8/2024

This scent is divine! I am a long time lover of gourmand fragrances with a vanilla base. This fragrance is rich and sophisticated. It is tiered with mature chewy sweetness and a dark smoky trail. I’m not a fan of “powdery” scents, so the name threw me off from even giving it a chance. I am so glad I received a free sample of this with my last order because I am in love with this scent. An added bonus is that it LASTS so long on my skin. Even after a shower, it lingers. I put this on my Christmas wishlist from my husband, so I look forward to opening this and wearing it often.

By Kimmi - MD from Los Angeles on 12/13/2023

This is a nice, not too sweet vanilla. My main problem is that as it dries down, the vanilla fades away and you are left with a slightly sweet, very generic perfume. There are no notes that make it interesting enough to splurge on a full bottle.

By Diane - SAHM from Winthrop on 12/7/2023

I really wanted to like this scent, and going by the name and notes I should have loved it, but Vanilla Powder was nothing short of an assault on my olfactory nerve. This hit so wrong and so strong for me. I sprayed 1 spray on a Kleenex in my hallway and it lasted for HOURS and even migrated into the bedrooms. It was a linear scent, so if you don't like the initial blast it won't change, so you'll be waiting in vain. I've never smelled Palo Santo, so maybe that's what's ruining it for me? If the type of vanillas you like are ones like Tihota, Delizia di Marshmallow, and Escapade Gourmande (all my favs) then you will probably agree with me concerning VP. But I'm sure someone will like this so try a sample (not a safe blind-buy).
